as sighing seeing now Lu Li was in the team of the Thousand-island Lake and that he had reached the later stage of the Spirit Sea Realm so quickly.

But Zi Lian didn’t say anything. She didn’t mention that she was observing the fight at the Wu Ling County. She just glanced over to the cabin and said, "Young Master Lu, the cabin you built is beautiful. Can you help me build one?"

Lu Li had a quite nice feeling toward this Zi Lian. That day at the Frigid Cloud Mountain, she remained him to look out for dangers. It was a simple sentence. Nonetheless, Lu Li was grateful because to him back then, Zi Lian was like a fairy from the heavens and the status of the two were very different.

He promised without hesitation, "It is my honor to serve Lady Zi."

"Hmm!"

Bai Xiashuang became unhappy seeing how Lu Li reacted. Sure, Zi Lian was the pearl of the Heaven Martial Kingdom. But Bai Xiashuang was the pearl of the Thousand-island Lake. She didn’t think her status or looks were worse than Zi Lian. Why Lu Li treated her so differently?

Bai Xiashuang was quite true to herself. She would say whatever was on her mind. She mumbled, "Lu Li, you promised us first. You cannot help the outsiders if you don’t finish ours first."

The word outsiders made the Young Ladies on Zi Lian’s side become unfriendly. Zi Lian’s expressions didn’t change. She looked at Bai Xiashuang and said, "That is not true, Lady Shuang. Lu Li was worn in the Wu Ling County of the Heaven Martial Kingdom. He belongs to the Heaven Martial Kingdom. How are we the outsiders?"

"Hmm!"

Bai Xiashuang was even more upset. Her tone became very unfriendly. She refused to be defeated and responded, "Lu Li now is an Island Owner at the Thousand-island Lake. Him entering the Thousand-island Lake meant that your Heaven Martial Kingdom was unkind to him. He could not stay at the Heaven Martial Kingdom so he had to come to the Thousand-island Lake."

Lu Li was in a fret. He was awkwardly caught in the middle of the quarrel between of the two Young Ladies. He at once cupped his fists and said, "Ladies, if you go on like this, I cannot finish the cabins even in several days. Lady Zi, please go back first. I will go over to you when I finish here later, okay?"

Zi Lian smiled gently. She saluted and led the Young Ladies back. After Zi Lian was gone, Bia Xiashuang glowered at Lu Li and said, "Lu Li, you belong to the Thousand-island Lake. You cannot flirt with Young Ladies from the outside."

Lu Li rolled his eyes and retorted impolitely, "I cannot flirt with Young Ladies from the outside. Should I flirt with you ladies?"

"Bah, dirty you!"

Bai Xiashuang blushed. She was shy and embarra.s.sed. She stomped her feet and left in a hurry like wind. Lu Li burst into loud laughter. The other Young Ladies were all blus.h.i.+ng. They quit in helping Lu Li and left with Bai Xiashuang.

The only one stayed behind was Xu Fangfei. She swallowed back the words on the tip of her tongue. This attracted the attention of Lu Li. He asked, "Lady Xu, why don’t you run with them? Are you waiting for my flirting?"

"Bah~"

Xu Fangfei spit into air and her face rosy. Then she said, biting her teeth, "Lu Li, don’t be buried in your wishful thinking. You cannot marry Lady Shuang or Lady Xue with your status. You better bury that thought now. Otherwise, if you angered everybody, even the Xu Family could not protect the Blood Evil Island for you."

"Status? Ha, ha!"

Lu Li smiled lightly. If he were to announce that he was a disciple of the Lu Family, maybe it was Bai Xiashuang who didn’t deserve him.

That being said, he was not longing for something he could not have. He didn’t want to invite trouble to himself either. On second thoughts, he believe what Xu Fangfei said was reasonable.

To the Young Masters of the Thousand-island Lake, Bai Xiashuang and Bai Qiuxue were their G.o.ddesses and muses. If he got too close to the two muses, he would be faced with a platoon of troubles.

He looked at Xu Fangfei. Suddenly, he put on a wicked smile and said, "Lady Xu, don’t worry. I have no romantic intentions for those two Young Ladies. There is only one person that I admire in my heart."

"Who is that?"

Xu Fangfei was interested in this gossip. She remembered Lu Li’s att.i.tude to Zi Lian. Could it be that Lu Li liked Zi Lian?

Lu Li smiled mysteriously. He checked up Xu Fangfei and answered, "That girl is as pretty as a fairy, a beauty which can obscure the moon and make flowers blush, one who can make wild geese alight and fish dive down for shame. Her surname is Xu and her given name is Fangfei."

"Bah~"

Xu Fangfei of course understood Lu Li was dallying with her when she saw the ridicule in Lu Li’s eyes. She spat into the air with anger and left hurriedly.

"Ha, ha, ha!"

Lu Li laughed loudly. In his head, however, he was thinking of the enormously beautiful face of Lu Ling.

He thought that if there were other ladies like Lu Ling in the world, he would woo her like crazy as in his heart, Lu Ling was the perfect G.o.ddess.
